"This fascinating and important collection highlights the differences and similarities of recent intellectual traditions within the field of Medical Anthropology as articulated in eleven different countries in the Americas and Europe. It is essential for understanding what the contemporary field is." Peter J. Brown, Professor of Anthropology and Global Health, Emory University "The editors have done excellent work in bringing together the different visions of so many renowned experts in the field." Medische Anthropologie: Tidschrift over Gezondheid Cultuur In an excellent conclusion, Lock considers medical anthropologys new location in societys bodies, whilst it de-essentializes both body and culture. Journal of Anthropological Research
